Hey!

I've not heard of this issue affecting other players, however I have some suggestions that will hopefully help you.

This behaviour suggests that it may be storing the downloaded files and leaving them in the cache, without clearing them afterwards. I can't say for certain if this is the issue, but it's certainly a good place to start.

- Back up, then delete the following folders -

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege\download\cache
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\cache\download

- Verify game files: https://support.ubi.com/en-GB/faqs/000025650/
- Check the size of your Siege folder afterwards: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege\

If that doesn't seem to do the trick, try checking the size of your folders within the Siege directory to see if you can find any folders that seem overly large.

I hope that helps!
